## [Unreleased]
## [v0.1.0-alpha.5] - 2026-02-23
### Added
- `chromium` compatibility backend via `--backend chromium` using an installed Chromium-based browser in app mode (no local Tauri build for generated apps)
- `build` / `update` flags for Chromium backend selection and runtime control:
- `--backend <tauri|chromium>`
- `--browser-bin <PATH>`
- `--profile-scope <isolated|shared>`
- Chromium app install flow with XDG `.desktop` launchers and per-app metadata (`X-Deskify-Backend=chromium`)
- Optional isolated Chromium profiles under `~/.local/share/deskify/profiles/<id>`
- `doctor` now reports whether a Chromium-based browser is available in `PATH`
### Changed
- `update <id>` now keeps the internal app ID stable even when the display name changes
- `list` now derives the internal ID from the `.desktop` filename (works for both Tauri and Chromium backends)
- `remove` now also cleans up Chromium profile directories (when present)
- `update` keeps Chromium isolated profiles by default to preserve sessions/cookies during reinstall
### Fixed
- Tauri wrapper generation now consistently uses the existing internal ID for generated app identifiers (prevents accidental ID drift during updates)
- `.desktop` command generation for Chromium backend now escapes arguments (URLs / user agents with spaces or special characters)
### Documentation
- README now documents backend modes (`tauri` vs `chromium`) and recommends `--backend chromium` for sites that fail in the system WebView backend
- Added Chromium backend usage examples (`--browser-bin`, `--profile-scope`) and updated compatibility notes
### Added
- `build --no-decorations` option to create frameless windows (`decorations: false`) for kiosk/dashboard-style setups
- README screenshots for KDE/Arch showing launcher integration, running app window, and `deskify list` workflow
